Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL is it more waterproof than a Levo ???

[chrismechmaster]

Probably a very silly question

it’s it true the sl has a higher ip rating then the Levo ?

I am planning a long ride tomorrow and it’s extremely wet where I am at the moment

I can’t remember where I read it but I seam to remember possibly non one is robs you tube video the SL has a higher IP rating

just wondered if anyone could confirm this as it make her the decider on what to ride in very wet conditions

"Huge marine-grade seals mean the motor is dust and waterproof to IP66."

Seen here First Look | The Specialized Levo SL Represents A New Class Of e-MTB

Hope this helps.

Have a Nice W-E.

I would hope so

My Levo Comp was problem-free until November then it was one fault after another with very little use

Very very wet late last year and early this year around here

It's the TCU, not the motor, which generally causes problems.

They use the same TCU

Silly question but could the tcu have a piece of cling film wrapped round it when riding in very wet weather

Would this help ? Or pointless

Lots of posts on here about waterproofing the TCU...
